Thanks to Travis Pillow of the Florida Current for his breakdown of the biggest earners in Tallahassee's lobbying corps in the last quarter, which ended Sept. 30. We took a closer look at the list and here's our breakdown of the casino lobbyists and their earnings. The only firm earning at least $500,000 who didn't make it to the casino list was Johnson & Blanton. There's still time.

Those that earned more than $1 million on legislative lobbying from :

* Ron Book PA, which has 65 clients including Flagler dog track

* Southern Strategy Group, which has 70 clients including Walt Disney World, one of the most up-front opponents of the resort casino bill

* Ballard Partners , which has 93 clients including Bayfront Development LLC owned by the Maylaysian-based casino company, Genting and Palm Beach Kennel Club (which is listed as Investment Corporation of Palm Beach)

Those earning more than $500,000:

* Capital City Consulting, -- lead lobbyist for Las Vegas Sands

* Colodny, Fass Talenfield, Karlinsky & Abate -- the Florida Horsemen

* Corcoran & Johnson, -- Miami Beach's Fountainbleau, which would like to get in on the casino action
